ELLI TENNANT IS AN ARTIST WHO CREATES PAINTINGS AND CERAMICS. BORN AND RAISED IN HOUSTON, TX, SHE HAS ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR COLOR AND 3-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS AS LONG AS SHE CAN REMEMBER. ELLI ATTENDED TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY, GRADUATING WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN STUDIO ART. SHE ALSO STUDIED IN FLORENCE, ITALY AT SACI: SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN.

FOCUSING ON MOMENTS IN TIME AND THE HUMAN FIGURE; ELLI LOVES WORKING FROM HER OWN IMAGERY AS WELL AS VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS. ONCE SHE CREATES HER COMPOSITIONS, THE STORY BEGINS TO COME TO LIFE; HER WORK IS PAINTED IN AN EXPRESSIVE WAY, USING VIBRANT COLORS AND SIMPLIFIED BRUSHSTROKES. IN EACH PIECE, SHE STRIVES TO CREATE A BALANCE BETWEEN THE REAL IMAGE AND HER OWN INTERPRETATION. THE ARTISTS’ ABSTRACTS ARE A WAY FOR HER TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS, PLAY WITH TEXTURE AND EXPERIMENT WITH SURPRISING COLOR COMBINATIONS. ELLI RESIDES IN HOUSTON, TX.
